Kim Kardashian Is Getting Dragged for North West’s “Provocative” Dress

Kim Kardashian is embroiled in yet another parenting controversy after dressing her four-year-old daughter North in a slip dress that appears to have a corset on it.

On Wednesday, photos from earlier in the week surfaced online showing Kardashian's daughter North West wearing the dress, which was soon deemed on social media to be "provocative" as people accused Kardashian of sexualizing her young child.

Soon after the controversy began, Kardashian took to Twitter to defend her decision. "I would never put my daughter in a corset!" she tweeted along with a video showing a closer look at the dress. "It's a dress I bought that is a cotton fabric that laces up & looks like a corset! Just decoration." She also said that she bought the dress from a designer because she thought it looked "cute."

Some commenters argued that Kardashian still wasn't understanding that even something that looked like a corset was potentially sexualizing her daughter. "You've missed the point. No 4 year old should be in a costume corset either," one person said.

Others, however, came to Kardashian's defense. "Y'all worried about North wearing this when your child has had on the same diaper for 3 days," one user tweeted with a GIF that said "worry about you." Some commenters questioned Kardashian's decision to defend her choice in the first place, with one writing, "Stop explaining yourself to the internet ... people are broke and bored. lol."

Kardashian is no stranger to mommy-shaming; most recently, she received blowback on Facebook in late June after posting a photo of her son Saint in a car seat that commenters alleged didn't follow safety guidelines.
